Amazing Home and Location!
My daughter and I stayed here for our trip to the Tucson Gem Show. It was perfect for us in every way! The location was close to all the venues and tons of restaurants to choose from. We took one day to just hang out in the sun and enjoy the pool. It was so relaxing and just what we needed. Thank you!!!

Great house in a great location
The property was easy to find, very clean and well stocked. The hot tub was lovely for the chilly nights, we didn’t use the pool as weather was too cold. The fireplace warmed up the place nicely in our last night. Close to national parks, entertaining and dining. A great place and the hosts were friendly and had great communication. Would definitely recommend to friends and family wanting to visit Tucson.

Tucson Retreat
The home is a nicely remodeled older home with interesting decor and furnishings. It would be a good choice for families as well as couples. We loved the outdoor pool area even though it was too cold to swim in January. There is however a hot tub on site for use. The location is pretty good and centered in the older part of town. It’s not real walkable unless your used to walking .5 a 1-miles to get to restaurants.

Fabulous stay!
A group of 4 of us stayed to celebrate a friend’s 50th birthday. We had a lovely time, the hot tub, pool, and backyard were quite relaxing. The hosts were great with communications and we felt if we needed anything we could reach out. Luckily, we didn’t need anything, the house had it all. Wonderful stay, we’ll be back again in the future. Highly recommend this place!

Xmas getaway
First time visiting the area, we found the property close to many sites we had on our list from the U of A, Rincón mountain, Saguaro 🌵 National park, and the botanical garden. The property provided plenty of room for the family to spread out and relax. We enjoyed the spa, but unfortunately December wasn’t warm enough to use the pool. All in all a great stay!

although the property is old and does not have the conveniences of a modern day building the yard is spectacular, the location is great and the property is charming. The hosts are communicative, pleasant and available. We had 2 married couples and a single with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and we all managed very well.

Long weekend getaway
It was clean and the backyard is very nice although we couldn’t enjoy the pool because the water was too cold but the tub was nice. Due to the age of the home there are some plumbing issues which were a little annoying. The home’s decor is a bit heavy and dark for the home that is already naturally dark. Overall it did the job of having a clean place to stay while I visited my daughter at UofA. The location to the school was convenient.

Super convenient
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this home. We were there to drop our son off at UofA and the location of this property was perfect. We were less than 10 minutes to his dorm, and 10 minutes away from the foothills and great restaurants. The property was spacious for the four of us, very clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was great - they were very proactive and responsive to all questions. Check in was the easiest process I’ve had at a VRBO. We will definitely try to stay at this house as often as possible when we visit our son.
